About

Okay Guy is a sullen-looking rage comic character who is typically accompanied by the caption "okay." The face is often used in the final panel of comics meant to convey a feeling of hopeless resignation.

Origin

The illustration is rumored to have originated on the imageboard 4chan, but no archived thread has been found. The earliest known instance of the face was posted on the Russian Internet humor website Joy Reactor[1] on June 24th, 2009.
